The gift of the Holy Spirit - John 14:15-31

Dr. Roberto Miranda
(Audio: Spanish)

SUMMARY: In John 14, Jesus promises his disciples the Holy Spirit as a comforter, encourager, strengthener, counselor, and instructor. He emphasizes the importance of obeying his commandments as a way to enjoy communion with God through the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is characterized as a spirit of truth, confronting us with the truth and helping us to change. The Holy Spirit is within us and with us always, dispersed throughout our being. Jesus and the Holy Spirit are one with the Father. The key takeaway is to be obedient to the word of God and seek truth through the Holy Spirit.

The Holy Spirit is in us when we receive Jesus and we should constantly communicate with Him and ask for His help and strength. Pentecostals understand that the Holy Spirit wants to be used and cultivated in our lives. The Trinity is made up of God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit, and they want to be accessed and used in our lives. We should cultivate an awareness of the Holy Spirit within us and use His resources. The Holy Spirit is a person and can be saddened by our actions, so we should ask for forgiveness and spiritual cleansing. We should not settle for a religious life but seek the manifestation of God's power in our lives. We should ask for a fresh dose of the Holy Spirit to clear away fear, doubt, and other negative emotions.

The speaker is praying for a fresh anointing and visitation of the Holy Spirit on the people listening. They ask for a spiritual tune-up, joy of the Spirit, and activation of spiritual gifts such as tongues, prophecy, healing, and evangelism. The speaker asks for the Holy Spirit to reach those not present and hopes for a breakthrough and refreshing of the Spirit. They thank God and also receive a fresh portion of the Spirit.

John 14 is one of the most beautiful Chapters I believe of all the testaments. In verse 15, the Lord gives his disciples a promise of the holy spirit. It says here “.... if you love me, Lion of Judah Congregation, if you love me keep my commandments and I will pray to the Father and he will give you another comforter to be with you forever. The spirit of truth which the world cannot receive because it does not see or know him, but you know him because he lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you orphans, I will come to you. Still a little and the world will not see me anymore but you will see me because I live, you will also live. On that day you will know that I am in my Father and you in me and I in you. The one who has my commandments and keeps them, that is the one who loves me and the one who loves me will be loved by my Father and I will love him and I will manifest myself to him. Judas, not the Iscariot, said to him, 'Lord, how is it that you will manifest yourself to us and not to the world? Jesus answered and said to him: 'He who loves me will keep my word and my Father will love him and we will come to him and we will make our home with him. He who does not love me does not keep my words and the word that you have heard is not mine but the Father's who sent me." Amen.

Here we see the Lord... these Chapters of the Gospel according to Saint John record some of the last words and conversations that the Lord Jesus Christ had with his disciples before being crucified, before being subjected to all the trial process and all the other things that he suffered in his passion. And the Lord was, as John suggests, giving some last instructions to his followers and he was talking about very important things, and he was.....
